Résumé en anglais
’New Buildings in Historic Setting’ was the topic of the Icomos General Assembly in Budapest, 1972. At the conference, it was declared that articles 12. and 13. of the Venice Charter should be used even in the scale of settlements; the architectural language should be contemporary while the new building should "integrate harmoniously" into the old surroundings not breaking "the balance of the composition".Historic context meant at that time the architecture of old town centres, like the Buda Castle district studied by the participants in 1972.
The way of thinking should be quite similar nowadays even in the case of cultural landscapes that are also a kind of historic context. In my paper, I’ll deal with this issue. In Hungary, architectural juries have been set up to provide professional advice and expertise on important architectural designs such as new buildings in historic context even in cultural landscapes and at World Heritage sites. Being a member of such a jury, I’ll show some examples to illustrate my opinion:If you design a building in a historic context you should first study the traditions of the site, understand the logics and the system of local architecture, feel the spirit of place and then make plans of a contemporary building influenced by your knowledge.
